Making the new Confederation light rail line an “integrated part of the OC Transpo system” by ensuring that the resulting multi-modal service (meaning buses and trains) is safe, efficient and reliable. This would include such things as regulation, customer experience, employee engagement, labour relation and operational processes, according to the term-of-council priorities master document.

OC Transpo would endeavour to have a new fare control system on the Trillium line in place by the end of 2017 and complete all of the multi-modal transformation projects by the end of the third quarter of 2018. The bus service will also reduce by half the number of OC Transpo buses travelling through the downtown core by September 2018.
